my (amateur) photography adventure

These photos are from our trip to the South Island of New Zealand in August 2011 – I’m finally starting to go through them properly. We had the most fantastic winter family holiday; this is a small part of it.

Larnach Castle is located on the Otago Peninsula near Dunedin. I was in two minds about whether it was worth a visit, when planning our trip, but it was a really good family outing and the garden was full of opportunities for a photographer.

The fire was very welcome!
